My Favourite Elliott Smith Song S1 Ep22: Mary Lou Lord
Our guest for episode 22 is the musician Mary Lou Lord.
Mary Lou was great friends with Elliott. The two of them met at a gig in Seattle arranged by Slim Moon, the founder of the record label Kill Rock Stars. She was already on the label and, of course, Elliott would soon follow.
In this interview we talk through Mary Lou's favourite song choice, hear more about the time she saw Elliott for the first time and how they started touring.
